Tempering is a heat treatment process that alters the mechanical properties (typically ductility and hardness) and relieves internal stresses of a steel.

While the chemical composition of a metal determines much of the mechanical properties, many metals can have their mechanical properties altered through heat treatment.

Sacrificial coatings are an excellent way to protect an underlying base material from the effects of corrosion.

While metal is generally hard and tough, it is still able to be cut by several different processes.

Welding galvanized steel has gotten a bad reputation over the years (rightfully so) as the fumes produced during welding can be incredibly dangerous to the welder’s health.

Grinding is a machining process that uses an abrasive to bring a material to its desired dimensions and surface finish.

What is Wire Mesh? Wire mesh is a common type of metal screen consisting of parallel rows and intersecting columns of wire.

Metal shafts used in high-speed applications require a large amount of precision.
